GroundWater Desktop (GWD) is a 3D User Interface for visualizing groundwater
models, environmental data and 3D kriging. While GWD is general, and might be used to visualize
any model, its development to-date has focused on MODFLOW, MODPATH and MT3D,
including the latest unstructured grid capabilities encompassed within
MODFLOW-USG. GWD enables users to view the model numerical grid, input data such
as properties and boundary conditions, as well as output data including heads,
concentrations and pathlines. Models can be examined using cross-sectional,
cut-away and layer "exploded" views.

Used as an AddIn with Groundwater Vistas or as a standalone, GWD provides a powerful tool for visualizing and evaluating groundwater models together with environmental data such as water levels and chemistry

GWD supports importing 3D point data such as borings and their collected environmental data such as water levels and chemistry. In Version 2, 3D kriging is added with an option to do kriging directly on Modflow Grid and Variogram modeling
